i don't know what you're talking about but I guess it's one of the later chapters. I dunno, I don't understand how some things make it into a game.

It's Chapter 13. It's completely different than the rest of the game. It isn't enjoyable at all. Maybe this is supposed to be a inside joke about Final Fantasy XIII. Like a mocking parody maybe? That's the only way this makes sense.

lmao hilarious how all the characters are wearing black. They're desperately trying to recapture that FF7 magic.

Oh shyt lmao. The second half of the game falls the fukk off. Still enjoyable but not as amazing as chapters one to the end of the first half of chapter 9. Second half of chapter 9 and on is just a different game at times. Really bad story telling is the worst culprit but there is some other shyt I'm not feeling.

This game is one of the weirdest RPG's I've ever played. Still surprisingly though I'm liking it the more I play.

I think this is just stuff that got left on the cutting room floor. This was originally supposed to be multiple games. It's the Xenosaga effect. Someone else took another person't work and gutted it and crammed it into a smaller package than what it was originally envisioned to be. The game is kinda a mess. Chapters 10-12 are incredibly short. Chapter 13 is painfully long with mostly different gameplay mechanics. It's like once the game tries to kick in the story everything falls apart. The chapters with the very loose story were the best in the game looking back on it.

I'm not completely negative on this game but I can't see myself ever playing it again. It's a poor man's open world game at best and in terms of story it's just not doing it. At the point I'm at now I prefer Final Fantasy XIII to this though I think XIII was a flawed but decent game. It has a far better story than this game and it's a longer game even if you ignore the fluff. It takes about 40 or so hours to do the main story. I'm at 21 hours and I'm into the final couple chapters here. I skipped out on most of the side quest and did hunts only to raise money. Apparently if you do a lot of the side content it makes you over powered as hell. I'm at the proper level according to the game and the boss fights are still challenging when a summon doesn't randomly pop up and obliterate them at the beginning of the fight.

I'm pretty much locked into a 7/10 rating for this unless the endgame knocks it outta the park. I'd give XIII maybe a 7.5/10.

sometimes too lit. I decided to do the mission with the frogs at night and the demon spawned as I was going to the area. So I said to myself," I'm sure I can take him on". It was all going well and I had his health down halfway then out of the blue the magitek soldiers dropped down in the middle of me doing battle and some other goblins appeared out of no where. So there I was, 4 of us vs the big demon, about 15 soldiers with bullets going everywhere, and about 5 goblins. I held my own for about 15 minutes then died. shyt was everywhere. It would be dope if they had it to where that type of battle would be free for all instead of everything gunning after you.

Cosign it would be so much better if everything fought against everyone

Like on skyrim and the witcher

The tutorial at the beginning of the game explains why that is. In the room with the 4 pictures that tells you the lore of the game. It has to do with the ring of the Luci. Also Kingsglaive explains it as well with Regis.

I see where you're coming from. IMO I do think the open world is dope and I haven't beat it yet but chapter 14 has a pretty good feel to it as well. I didn't dislike chapter 13 but it did catch me off guard at first. Eventually I had my fun with it.

But man the writing is just plain bad. No excuse for it. Overall though I really like the game but as soon as this game went linear for those handful of chapters it was pretty bad overall, and especially bad from a storytelling standpoint.
